Because of Ruth, Moab were saved from being punished for their actions against the Israelites.

Rabbi Shimon explains it with an example of a fig tree. When the tree is still in the process of giving fruits, it is protected. After the fruits are collected, the tree can be left alone.

Lesson: It’s always beneficial to prepare and have plans for future positive actions. The light that is ‘allocated’ for that ‘project’ protect us. We cannot fake this because if we don’t follow through, we are hit with judgments because the other side takes over that light reserved for us.

Plan your regular studies daily, weekly or any period of time. Set goals to start a study of a Zohar book and finish it. We have on the Daily Zohar the complete study of Tikunei Zohar and complete study of Zohar Pinchas. You can set extra time a week to study them. Plan a day of the week or month to sit and give your tithe and plan other sharing and giving activities.

When your to-do list and calendar is full of planned positive actions, you receive protection to fulfil these goals.
